November 2026: Re-rated the claim that the 1918 pandemic began at Camp Funston, Kansas from partially true to unsubstantiated, because the geographic origin remains unknown and a 2019 review found the Funston outbreak was probably not the first large one. Corrected how the Haskell County (Barry), Étaples (Oxford and colleagues) and Chinese Labour Corps hypotheses and the 2019 review are described, and added a 2026 study.
